small air compressor for tire

[shotgun]

sirs:

are the small air compressor being sold in shops any good? the one where you plug into cigarette lighter. what brand would anyone suggest? i saw one, its about the size of 3 soda cans and built in guage for tire pressure.

ok lang naman yang mga maliliit na compressor na yan my brother has one on his car. pero, I personally prefer yung mga mechanical footpumps. exercise na, hindi pa dadadag sa electrical load ng auto ko.

[VtEC]

uh oh, mine only lasted for about 6mos and gone.i never bothered to buy a replacement.

IMO

pang bike lang yan ..! and i dont think na kaya yan mag inflate ng tire sa tamang psi .. IMO just foot pedal nalang po ..

Ours lasted close to 20 years. This is the "Laser" brand made in the US.

Lumuluwag lang yung electrical connections sa loob dahil sa vibration ng compressor. Pero pag hinigpitan mo ulit yun ayus sya ulit. Took 18 years before anything like that happened on ours.

One tip: Hwag mo tipirin. The cheap PhP500 compressors are usually crap.

I've been using craftsman pero nabili ko sa states. Very reliable and digital ang gauge niyia

tire inflator? yes for emergency purposes. mine is from US - dunno the brand name basta may red na star malakas siya! kahit dapa na gulong kaya hanginan but mas di hirap kung jacked up.

Ok yang tire inflator for emergency purposes. Kaso yung mga local brands mabilis masira. Better get the US branded ones, tumatagal kumpara sa mga local/china made.
Pag local pumps, dapat jack up muna yung tire para hindi hirap magkarga ng hangin.

madaling masira kung mag overheat kasi may plastic component sa loob (rotor yata) na madaling ma-deform. Go for the double barrel bicycle foot pump & have a reliable tire pressure gauge...

[daimaoh]

mine's ok pero galing sa US din.

laking tulong in an emergency.

may foot pump ako dati... nasira after a while.

Ayos yang ganyan. Yung akin 7 yrs na, ok pa naman. Sobrang convenient at mababawasan ang time mo sa shoulder, so lumiliit rin risk na mabangga.

I have one na lagi kong dala for emergency I bought it for 400 pesos. More than two years na sakin ok pa naman and I use it everytime bumababa ang psi ko. Siguro once a month. Swertehan lang sa pagbili. What I did was naglagay ako ng on/off switch malapit dun sa pump para hindi hugot ng hugot everytime papatayin yung pump. Saves me time and energy sa pagbalik-balik sa loob ng oto

Yung sa amin pala tatak nya "Interdynamics Laser air compressor"...had it since 1989.

I think Concorde in SM Megamall still sells this. A very good buy; take my word for it.

I have a couple of these air compressors and both of them still work okay after more than 5 years. Very handy in case of an emergency when you needed to inflate your tyre and ran a few kilometers to have a tyre change....

one time, flat yung focus ng kaibigan ko chick at nagtanong sya kung may portable compressor ako.

labas kagad yung bili ko sa ace worth 600 yata.

nakaka 20 psi pa lang, bumigay na.

yabang ko pa naman at lagi ako handa

pero at least nadala pa nya sa vulcanizing shop with 20 psi.

[dbuzz]

mayron ako at napakinabangan ko na sa car ko ng ma flat minsan.

na inflate din naman up to 30psi sa indicator ng pump na yun pero ng makarating ako sa vulcanizing shop at pakargahan ng tama, 21psi lang pala. wala namang butas gulong ko mali lang gauge ng pump. ok lang. bottom line is, napakinabangan ko naman kahit papaano.

bago ko binili yun (SM Southmall) nag test muna at pinaabot ko ng 60psi yan bago ko binili(binaluktot yung dulo ng hose at pinaandar) if my memory serves me right naka pangatlong palit ng unit yata kami sa pag tetest bago naparating namin sa 60psi kasi di tumataas ang reading nasa first grad lang which is 20psi (daw!!) yung first two units. hehehe.

250psi pa gauge nun "too good to be true." kasi sa hitsura at materyales lang mukhang di aabot sa 100psi at sasabog na eh.

i used to have one, madaling masira. I bring a machanical pump along, over ten years (may be even more, sa bike ko pa yata to nung single pa ako) it still works without fail.

[puroy]

mas reliable ang double barrel foot pump kesa sa yung mga cigarette powered air pump. yung liteace namin napahanginan ko without jacking up the tires. :D
